Carboxyfullerene SOD Mimetic Enhances Cognition and Lifespan in Mice

Carboxyfullerene SOD Mimetic Enhances Cognition and Lifespan in Mice A groundbreaking study published in Neurobiology of Aging (Quick et al., 2006) explored the effects of a synthetic superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic, a small-molecule antioxidant, on aging in wild-type mice. Starting at middle age, mice received chronic treatment with a carboxyfullerene-based compound designed to combat oxidative […]
